Loa loa感染在韩国等非流行地区的流行率很低，尽管它在西非和中非的流行地区很常见。我们描述了一个病人谁提出了暂时性局部水肿（经典卡拉巴尔sleep）前往喀麦隆后，在其中的诊断loleep是由ELISA。这是韩国报告的第二例loxacin病例。由于国际旅行越来越频繁，在韩国嗜酸性粒细胞增多症和卡拉巴尔肉瘤患者的鉴别诊断中应考虑Loa loa感染。
The prevalence of Loa loa infections in non-endemic areas such as Korea is very low even though it is quite common in the endemic regions of West and Central Africa. We describe a patient who presented with temporary localized edema (classical Calabar swellings) after travelling to Cameroon and in whom the diagnosis of loiasis was made by ELISA. This is the second reported case of loiasis in Korea. As international travel is becoming more frequent, Loa loa infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients with eosinophilia and Calabar swellings in Korea.
